Name of Tour bus that brought me to: GuangZhou, Lipu, Guangdong, Guilin, HeZhou, Yangshuo introducing KING LONG. Last picture of me and the bus (dont we match?) before heading to the airport!

Drink Future Cola and you future will be better ! P.S Beer is so much cheaper than coke and any other carbonated/sweetened drink!

They have the weirdest bathrooms (in different designs!) in China. Take note that the wall only reaches up to your knees when you stand up.. I leave the rest up to your imagination!

My turn to look like a bloody doll in PINK! This is the costume from the Tung tribe (I am wearing three layers here-my jeans, tshirt, sweatshirt: so you can imagine how hot I was feeling at that point!

I felt like a guy in this situation. I had to pay 10 renmimbi (RM5) for each girl I chose and there were six all clinging to me! I ended up selecting these two lovely ladies..

Me and my husband. This tribe greet and show signs of affection by holding one ear and YES thats MY EAR between his fingers!

remember I told you guys I got married .. well here are the pictures my husband is the dude on my left! P.s Being thrown up in the air, carried around and touched in all the wrong places (no kinky thoughts please!) ...(for those who do not know me I HATE PEOPLE TOUCHING MY EARS!)

"A little help please, this thing is heavy!" That large pot-like statue is what the Chinese used to serve dishes such as beef, meat etc.. during the war to thousands of soldiers.

Mel and her "people" can be found all over China. Very tame but damn cheeky, will snatch any food you are carrying or eating at the time!

Check out this cute signage of one of the more popular cafes in Yangshuo. (OMG: Reading their signboards in China is entertaining!)

Yangshuo, also known as West Street. A street that caters for mostly foreigners from all over the globe (the only street where people speak English!). Trendy cafes, bars and hotels and terrific shopping! Recommended to go in a group with your close buddies!

check out my eyes.. bloodshot red. This session was for us to sample different types of rice wine.. hehe!

Not drunk or tipsy yet but the barrel behind me is used to transport rice wine aka TAPAI and you know what that means!.

another cool sculpture which leads into a garden that promises happiness, lasting relationships....etc..

The Chinese can think of everything,nice elephant sculptures huh?The statues are made of a million tiny glass bottles!

This picture was taken inside a famous cave..name of the cave unfortunately I cant recall but you can find all sorts of things in caves, stones shaped like Cocks, Tits, even Buddha..I KID YOU NOT

Most of the caves in China have carvings (very detailed and intricate carvings!) That date back to the late 1800's. Some of them were quite creepy whereas some were darn right hilarious!

The Chinese community believed that if you climb this particular hill with your partner, and each get a padlock with your names engraved and then lock it there along the chain link it would bring a lifetime of happiness together and your partner would not stray! Nowadays couples go there on their first year as husband and wife and return after a couple of years in search of their padlocks! (the prevention of adultery is all a myth though some still strongly believe in this myth!)

I climbed about a million steps to get up this cliff and I was not disappointed it was gorgeous I could see the whole Guilin City. (P.s Theres a story about the padlocks hanging behind me!)

I felt like I stepped back in time, the people in the smaller villages were still dressed in traditional clothings, military wear (rather scary) and their buildings and structures are ancient (hundreds of years old)

China is beautiful, now i understand why most chinese paintings have mountains in them (the chinese are surrounded by mountains, cliffs and hills even in the City!)
